Recruiting for FFXIV!

[Arachnos99]

Hey everyone, gnomercy here. I'm currently looking for a few good men/women that are interested in playing Final Fantasy 14. The game is releasing in a few days, (Sept. 22nd). My guild has been clearing and testing out all the first few raids available in-game during open beta and are now looking to get some more people in to help out with the crafting and raiding, and/or people that just want to have some fun. If you're interested feel free to message me and I can help you get started.

I have only read a few reviews on this game. How does it look so far? I have always wanted to try the FF online series so I am curious to see how this one will play out. Do you think it will have the numbers to hold?

[Kelven]

The open beta is still going on for anyone interested. I played open beta for about 6 days and just couldn't stomach any more.

I think the game will have a very niche crowd that love it, but it's very different from a modern "western" mmo, and downright frustrating in a lot of aspects.

If you look final fantasy 11 online still holds a great number of players and is one of the most populated games even to date, but 14 is in a league of its own if you compare the two. I've played to near endgame and have been testing it for 5 months now, and i'm impressed with how many people play and how packed the servers are. Surprisingly I've ran into little to no bugs at all, and can't seem to actually run out of content to do lol, I play about 19 hours a day so I find it shocking how much content is in the game already.

[Kelven]

Indeed the game is quite "bug-free" as far as beta stages go, and there's plenty of content to do.

Most of the "bugs, game isn't ready for release" troll threads out on the interwebs is simply people frustrated with the game itself and wishing it was something different all together. It doesn't take too long to figure out if you disslike or love the game.

I for one hated it :(

You mean like "playable"?

Game is fucking terrible

[OngorDrakan]

If the fucking game would just god damn download I could have played it. Fuck this shit.
It's been downloading at like 20k for 3 days. Just host the damn files square you assholes. GRRR. I played a lot of FFXI but this just sucks I can't even "open beta" test it. Now I doubt Ill be able to play it at all.

[Kelven]

the patcher is indeed terrible. I had to download 90% of my patches from external sites in order to play.

Okay this video is hilarious, and mostly true. A good watch if you've already played the game and ended up hating it.

I got into the beta for this game and couldn't stand it. The reviews by users are mostly negative over on gamespot and some users there are practically writing novels detailing how bad they feel the game is.

I have seen this game getting ripped apart on more than one forum, I think I will save my $$.

[soules]

I played this in closed beta. This game is beyond pos. Its like ff11 controls but worse, they didnt even think about the pc while making the ui. Pathing is fucking retarded, you cant jump, to get down a half foot drop, you have to run like 10 miles around shit to get there. They hadn't optimized any ati cards to work well with the game.. The list goes on and on..

Only people that will be playing this are the SUPER annoying fanbois. Spending 10 minutes around these people will surely make you quit if the actual game hasn't

[cured]

Gamespot's official review gave FFXIV a 4.0 ouch. Users are giving it a 4.4. Has to be the biggest MMO flop in gaming history, in terms of hype to delivered product.

LOL that makes me remember star war galaxies, where one of the cities was designed something like this:

----------!!---
- -
- -
- -
- -
- -
--00-----------

Where !! is the mission terminal and 00 is the only exit through the town, which is surrounded by a one foot fence and you cannot jump.
Bah my little drawing doesnt work, theres supposed to be an east and west wall, like a box

[ShivanAngel]

I spent about 10-15 hours trying to give the game a chance and i just cant stand it. No auto attack so you are sitting there mashing the same button over and over and over is a horrible design imo.

That and my wife was like "OMG WHEN YOU PLAY THAT ALL I HEAR IS TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP...."

[girth]

FFXIV sucks. I wish it wasn't so.

[username17]

I thought the ability to change classes with 1 toon was unique.
But other than that I didn't like it.

And the fact that they had rough terrain but no jumping.
ANNOYING
